list of the Year

2009-12-07T16:52:00.001-06:00

well well well....
it's about that time of the year again.

what made your lists?

unlike 08', 09 left me digging through piles of records, racking my brain as to who made the illustrious list, that no one cares about.

i find myself pretty shocked by the number of good releases, and from those, the selections that made it onto my list.

top 10 records:

tied for first:
1. the life and times - Tragic Boogie
2. the dear hunter - act III

.....the rest, in no order......
3. dredg - "The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion"
4. oceansize - home and minor
5. thrice - beggars
6. shelflife - shelflife
7. mastodon - crack the skye
8. Actors and Actresses - Arrows
9. national skyline - bliss & death
AND - the bloom EP
10. the auxiliary list spot. i just had TOO many good records to listen to....so this spot will be divided amongst a few who earned a spot.

sights and sounds monolith
caspian - tertia
baroness - blue record
the appleseed cast -Sagarmatha
russian circles - geneva

biggest disappointment:
cave in - planets of old
what's worse than a great band going on hiatus?
when they come back with a totally mediocre record. ugh.

the mars volta - octahedron
jesus. i guess the only thing worse than the 40 minute drug induced musical themes from the mars volta are the SOBER 40 minute musical interludes. just stop making music.

killswitch engage -
they shows such great potential with alive or breathing / end of heartache....but since then have become a band that is using like B & C side scraps.
break the mold and push forward guys. your sound is played out.

poison the well - Ep's and Lp.
A for effort, just boring releases.

as cities burn - hell or high water
previous record (come now sleep) was a top 10 lister.....the followup is a piece of crap.
what a bummer.

thursday - common existence.
crap. i should have known better. their next release will not make it to my ears.

muse- the resistance.
much like thursday, i should have known better.
these guys have been in a downward spiral for awhile....

honorable mention:
constants - The Foundation, The Machine, The Ascension
-- some decent songs--but nothing wowed me here. in fact, i'd say they took a step back from the production of their split w/ caspian.
THAT is how they should always sound, so this is a bit of a regression.

pelican - what we all come to need
--- it's not a bad record, and probably better than city of echoes....but it's just not great. especially in comparison to the other releases of 09.

mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind
meh. not bad. not great.

isis - wavering radiant
meh. not bad.

what i'm looking forward to in 2010?
minus the bear
oceansize full length
jatun!

Non 2009 records that got the most play
oceansize - frames / effloresce
shiner - the egg
riddle of steel - python
cave in - jupiter
swervedriver - mezcalhead

New Guitar Lesson Service.

2009-04-21T17:43:00.001-05:00

I have been toying around with new technology.

twitter.com

It's a site that has shown little purpose to me thus far.

i have never cared what people are doing every second of every day.

Then it hit me. Use it for lessons.

The concept:

I make a twitter.

Students make (or already have) a twitter.

When someone cancels, i post the time to twitter.

Twitter then automatically sends the text message to the students who have subscribed.

It will also work for RSS feeds, for the students who use those.

As an aside, I LOVE RSS feeds. Genius.

This way, should you ever want to change your lesson time during the week, you'll be immediately informed of every time that's open!

Additionally, if you aren't enrolled in lessons, but just want a single lesson, you'll know my availability.

As to not abuse the system, the only messages sent will be for three functions....

- When lesson times become available

- When lesson times are no longer available

- Special events and notices

Here is how it works:

Visit www.twitter.com and setup an account (if you don't already have one.)

In the twitter settings, enable phone updates, and link your cell phone (with a text message plan).

Visit www.twitter.com/gregsgtrlessons

Beneath the profile picture, click Follow

Click to enable mobile device updates for this person.

That's it.

From here on out, you will receive the lesson time updates via twitter.

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions, but i really hope you take advantage of this new, and seemingly useful technology.

-Greg-

The great beard-off of 09'.

www.beard-oh-nine.blogspot.com/

it's weird, but, hopefully i won't have to wait too long to get back to a normal face.

Happy new year.

2008-12-31T18:42:00.001-06:00

Let's hope the 09 is better than 08!

To be fair, 08' is Goin out with a bang...hum & the life and times @
double door.

I have a wall calender with a bunch of red "x's" leading up to tonight.

Jazzed is an understatement.

So, what will stick out about 08 to me?

A great vacation with Andi and her family. A massive house on the
ocean is ok in my book.

Finally seeing the youth center open it's doors, and quickly become
mainstay in local music.

Snow. Relentless, miserable snow.

A year spent on improvement. Studying studio crap, gear research,
piano & voice lessons, and going to a foreign place called a gym.

Developing a snob's attitude with beer. I learned a lot, by both
reading, and getting my hands dirty with what I'll call research.
Delicious research. I forsee brewing in the near future.

Time well spent with good people, and the never ending feeling that I
need more time to dedicate to them.

Sports teams building me up, just to let me down.

A new band rehearsing, and an old band getting a breath of life.

Welp. Dinner time.
Have a good one :-)

List of the Year

2008-12-09T22:23:00.002-06:00

lists of 08

no particular order.

1. thrice - alchemy index 3/4
2. nin - ghosts
3. caspian/constants split.
4. god is an astronaught - s/t
5. this town needs guns - animals
6. meshuggah -obzen
7. celebrity - ep
8. Russian Circles - Station
9. roma 79 - praise the divide
10. mogwai - the hawk is howling

honorable mention:
sigur ros- Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust
death cab - narrow stairs
mock orange - captain love
city and colour - bring me your love

- how does a 2 song split make a top 10 list?

1. 100% of the songs kick ass. better than most of the other cds on the list.
2. it was a shitty year for releases.

that brings me to the next list.....

- non 08 records that received the most spins -

#1 HANDS DOWN MOST PLAYED
- Oceansize - Frames
somehow, this record slipped my radar in 07, despite me loving the shit out of 05's 'everyone into position'.
when i sat down with frames, i knew then and there that i could survive through the music drought of 08, by celebrating this band's catalog.
....and boy, i have. so when i say Frames is the most played record, i mean that it barely edges out their other lp's/ep's.
if i could put frames as #1 on the 08 list, i would.

2. shiner - the egg
3. nin - the fragile / with teeth / year zero
4. the dear hunter - act I / act II
5. failure - fantastic planet
6. jatun - s/t
7. the life and times - hymns/the magician
8. hum - downward is heavenward
9. thrice - alchemy index 1/2
10. swervedriver - mezcalhead

-top shows-
1. Swervedriver/ life and times @ metro (tlat's set was mediocre to a shitty live mix)
2. my bloody valentine @ aragon
3. the dear hunter @ the beat kitchen
4. thrice @ metro
5. sigur ros @ chicago theater

2009 is shaping up to be sweet though.
records from:
- autolux
- the dear hunter
- the life and times!
- jatun

and for a frame of reference, a few old lists.....
===

Lists of 2007

In no particular order…..

Except for number 1.

Best records of the Year.

1. The Dear Hunter - Act 2.
Simply the best music I have heard in a long, long time.

2. Minus the Bear - Planet of Ice
A Proggy pop gem.

3. The End - Elementary
Metal album of the year, no doubt.

4. Thrice – The Alchemy Index
Fire is awesome, but water is amazing.

5. Ken Andrews - Secret of the Lost Satellite.
What it lacks in song quality, it makes up for with Production.

6. 6. Tie.
-National Skyline – Last Day EP.
Just awesome. Itunes only. Bastards.
- As Cities Burn - Come now Sleep
At the drive in meets shoegaze. wonderful.

7. Coheed – No World for Tomorrow
Just a killer rock record. A bit of a vocal show case, but still solid.

8. Battles – Mirrored
Avant-garde, and awesome.

9. Radiohead – In Rainbows
Just about anything they do will likely make my list ☺

10. 10. Tie:
- Wilco – Sky Blue Sky.
- Futures of Forestry - Twilight.
Both records are only about 1/2 good....it was a slow year for music!

Honorable Mention:

- Adam Franklin – Bolts of Melody.

- Circa Survive – On Letting Go

- The Fucking Champs – VI

- Jesu – Pale Sketches

Albums that failed to meet meager expectations:

1. Hopesfall – Magnetic North.
The band needs to break up, now.

2. Pelican – City of Echos.
Good riffs do not make a good record.

3. Receiving End of Sirens – The Earth Sings Mi Fa Mi.
They booted all the talent in that band. The difference in the 2 records
Scream they made the wrong decision.

Non 2007 Records that got the most play.

1. Shiner- the egg
2. Failure- fantastic planet
3. celebrity- lovesick
4. Cave In- Antenna
5. Isis- Panopticon/Oceanic
6. Clint Mansell – The Fountain Soundtrack
7. Mkshft- Caterwaul Effect
8. Ava- Music of Chance
9. houston- bottom of the curve
10. actors and actresses - we love our enemies
11. swervedriver - mezcalhead
12. life and times – hymns/the magician
13. hum- Downward
14. Dredg – El Cielo
15. Dear Hunter – Act 1
16. Brand New- The Devil and God are raging inside me.

Best Shows of 2007
1. Dear Hunter/Culpa @ Chubby Rain
2. The End @ the Beat Kitchen
3. Caspian/Constants @ The Note
4. The Fucking Champs @ the Bottle
5. Open Hand @ Double Door
6. Isis/Jesu @ Metro (Jesu dropped the ball, isis made up for it).

=====

Lists Of The Year 2006

  in no particular order.....
(well, maybe a rough order)  
1. the life and times - the magician
 2. tool - 10000 days 
3. mastodon - blood mountain 
4. celebrity - mining for twilight
 5. jesu - silver 
6. isis - in the absence of truth (and/or Fishtank ep) 
7. Constants - the murder of tom fitzgerril 
8. Don Cab - World Class Listening Problem 
9. of the opera - study natural law 
10. tie: 2 mediocre records...... KSE and Incubus

(review below)  --------- 
Albums i wish i liked more. To be fair, it is not that i don't like these records.....they just weren't what i had expected.....which kills me, because i hate to put high expectations on a record.

  Russian Circles -  Enter ---  its the EP, with 2 extra songs, that imo, don't hold up with the other tracks on the disc.  Mars Volta- Amputecture--- i get into the other albums, but this just doesn't do it for me. songwriting and jamming both lack.  

Muse- Blackholes and Revelations --- i think it is a hair to brit pop for me. less pop, more rock, thats my motto.   

Incubus - Light Grenades --- it is at least consistent.......in the sense that each album has progressively gotten worse since SCIENCE. Although, to be fair, id rate science at a 10.01, and make yourself at a 10.0........  

Killswitch Engage - As Daylight Dies. ---- Sounds like a batch of killer songs......that didn't make it on to The End of Heartache........the songs aren't bad......but the record is very vanilla......has all the parts: killer guitars, awesome drums, huge vox........just didn't bring it overall. it has potential to grow on me.
  ------------------- 

a few worth mentioning.... 
del rey - a pyramid for the living (2 drummer inst. indie band) 
your black star - sound from the ground (ex elliot.....poppy space rock sounds) 
the octave museum- s't_ (stephen brodsky from cave in.....indie pop cd) 
En-masse - the alarm_ _(ex further seems forever, moments in grace....poppy space rock
(i have a type, i know)) 
Irreversible - Age (awesome doom metal meets hopesfall rawk)  
---------------
 non 06 albums that got the most play  
1. Shiner- the egg 
2. Failure- fantastic planet
 3. celebrity- lovesick 
4. Cave In- Antenna 
5. Isis- Panopticon
 6. Minus the Bear- pirates
 7. Mkshft- Caterwaul Effect 
8. Ava- Music of Chance 
9. houston- bottom of the curve 
10. actors and actresses - we love our enemies  
11. swervedriver - mezcalhead 
12. life and times - hymns
 13. hum- ypaa 
14. year of the rabbit - st  
------  
shows of 06
  1. mastodon @ metro 
2. life and times @ subt.

At this Belgium beer tasting.

Finally Finished

2008-08-13T12:06:00.001-05:00

Rarely do i say that i have finished a pedalboard.

this one is done.

it is really the core elements that i'd use to get 'my sounds'.

it kills me to take the dl4 off of there.....but when it can go more
than a week without dying, we'll resume our pedalboard negotiations.

for now, the timefactor and the RV3 are the final additions for the
'small board'.

oh jesus, god, no

2008-07-03T17:20:00.001-05:00

i figured i'd send a few pics up so people could see the progress.

2008-06-29T15:26:00.000-05:00

I just accomplished a goal I set when I was nine.

#23 on the life long to-do list.

Own a pair of jordan's.

This may be the best thing ever.

Early morning breakfast: $5

Tickets for an Oceanside dolphin watch : $10

Seeing some idiot drive his state of the art $2 million dollar yacht
into a sandbar: priceless.

Captain johnny said they'll be out all day digging the sand from under
the boat.

option.
